OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

CLICK MEforN4M's Community GuidelinesandOPSEC.

~OPSEC OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance.

~N4M’s also has Community Guidelines just like any other social media.

~Please take the time to read the OPSEC and N4M’s Community Guidelines.

~A quick note here, from the N4M’s CG’s:

• Don’t Jeopardize the Safety of Our Sailors: Remember OPSEC (Operational Security) (Don’t Sink Ships With Loose Lips) This site and all content posted on it are viewable to everyone on the Internet. This doesn’t mean you can’t share things about your Sailor – but too many details can put Sailors in harm’s way. The following are examples of red flags and should not be shared within this community either by posting or sending via a Group message:

• Sailors’ last names. This includes your username if you share the same last name as your son or daughter.

Some Suggestions:

~If your last name is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended for you to use in your username for your own personal security. This is your option. It is also not a good idea to use an email address as your username for personal security reasons.

~First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember, everyone can see it and someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture to not include your Recruit at least for the duration of BC. Again, your option

~It is also a good idea to make your settings for your Profile Page "viewable only to your friends".

Comment by Jordan'Mom Ship 13 Div 333 on August 8, 2013 at 5:14pm: Question..hearing through others letters that Division 333 got the "scholars flag" What does that mean?

Comment by Lynn on August 8, 2013 at 4:41pm: I didn't get a letter but my husband did :(. Maybe tomorrow.. However, I did read it And he said, he thinks and wants to come HOME every day !!! Then talks about A school. E said in his DIV 2 SR's were sent home :(

Comment by CoNavyMom (Ship 14 Div 336) on August 8, 2013 at 4:23pm: I got a letter today! Attitude is much improved from previous letters, which is a relief. He wants a pic of himself with his beard, he says there a lot of SRs that remind him of different people back home and he thought the minion pic was funny and ironic.

Comment by StaceySHIP14DIV335 on August 8, 2013 at 2:25pm: I got a letter today! She said she is STRESSED! She wrote a lot and apologized for complaining. She said she just doesn't have a way to escape. She can't just go to the gym or call her sister. She wants pictures from home.

Comment by ScoobyDoo Ship 14 Div 335 on August 8, 2013 at 2:09pm: Sharla-

that is GREAT news so happy to hear she is doing well. It for sure puts the heart at ease to know that they are"OK" eases the worry :)

Comment by Sharla on August 8, 2013 at 1:56pm: I got a letter (ship 14 div 335) and it was a good one this week! Oh thank the Lord. My husband (her stepdad) has a birthday this weekend and she remembered and put a separate letter in for him. He has been the dad in her life since she was 8, and he taught her so many things. He's a tough blue collar guy and he tried for years to toughen up my little fru-fru girly girl. In her letter to him she says "I tell so many stories from home and you're in a lot of them. I wish I could run up to you and tell you every time I do something tough!" Brought my tough guy to tears with that letter.

She passed her swim test! 15 foot drop, 500 yard swim, and prone float (while being kicked by others who were freaking out), & coverall inflate while praying it would work. Still working on the other PFA's and she said her pushups still suck. But she's getting stronger.

No real details at all about what they are doing, which is typical her. I can still hear her in her writing. She hasn't changed much in that regard. But this one was no whining or misery so it put my heart at ease.

Comment by grateful-Ship13Div333 on August 8, 2013 at 12:51pm: CatMom509 - Yes you did mention you admired the Snoopy icon. :)

I wonder if today will bring a letter or phone call.... Time will tell. I did get one letter out to SR this week but I'm disappointed I didn't write at least one more. I'm up to my eyeballs getting ready for my daughter's bridal shower in two weeks. I need to make it priority to find the space in time to write another letter today to SR. So I will.

Comment by CatMom509 on August 8, 2013 at 12:33pm: Hello Friends!

     "Commit to the Lord whatever you do,

      and your plans will succeed."

                                         Proverbs 16:3

Comment by CatMom509 on August 8, 2013 at 12:33pm: grateful,

Did I ever mention to you that I LOVE your Snoopy icon??

Comment by Lynn on August 8, 2013 at 8:31am: With out this site and all other Navy sites, I think a lot of us would be lost and not know what we know now! Yes, Thank You for helping us new Navy moms with great information.. Come on Sept 6th ❤⚓
